Charity Navigator gives UMCOR Four-star Rating

From the Kansas East Conference:

Charity Navigator, America's premier charity evaluator and the nation's largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities, has awarded UMCOR a coveted four-star rating for sound fiscal management. The four-star “exceptional” designation is Charity Navigator’s highest rating awarded to select not-for-profit organizations that exceed industry standards and outperform most charities in its cause.

“This prestigious honor recognizes our transparency and sound financial accountability and promotes the trust our donors have in the work we do,” said the Rev. Sam Dixon, UMCOR’s chief executive. “Now future donors will have greater confidence when they choose to give through UMCOR.”

This commendation says that UMCOR outperforms the majority of nonprofits in America with respect to fiscal responsibility. Charity Navigator works to guide intelligent giving and helps supporters make informed giving decisions by providing data about more than 5,000 charities and evaluating the financial health of each.
